forced by heavy rain and absence Of
wind TO give up his projected trip, he
returned . his residence, unlocked tho
door, entered and proceeded to light
q candle which he usually left on the
hall table. He was struck by dim;nu-
ton of its size. and knowing that he
alone possessed the KEYS of the house.
his suspicious were aroused and he
fastened to his bedroom for a pair Of
queerly mounted revoivers which he
kept in his bureau drawer. He found
, them gone. but being plucky man
he started on tour of inspection, and
taking first the rooms opening on the
front staircase, he proceeded TO the at
tic and from there down the back stairs
to the cellar. o. arriving there he
pushed open the door. and standing up
ON the doorsill, examined the place. but
finding nothing to excite his suspicious.
he returned to his room. put out his
light and went to bed About two
years after two burglars were captured
in New Jersey and sentenced. one Of
them capitally for murder The man,
before his execution. asked for pen
and paper, saying he wished 10 write
